Tickets for all of the Tennessee shows go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday, June 29. Fans can also visit foofighters.com for information on how to sign up for pre-sale access.

The tour is named for their just-unveiled new album "Concrete and Gold," which arrives September 15. In a press release, Grohl describes the album's sound as "Motorhead’s version of Sgt. Pepper...or something like that."

They've been a band for more than 20 years now, but in the past few years, Foo Fighters have spent more time in Nashville than ever.

In 2014, they visited the town for their TV/album project "Sonic Highways," during which Grohl played a surprise acoustic set at the Bluebird Cafe.

"I knew that (Nashville) was an industry capital, but I didn't understand why," Grohl told The Tennessean at the time. "I thought I understood the relationship between singers and songwriters, but after spending a week there, I've learned so much more. I realized I didn't know much before I got there."
